No tempered steel
Pulled out of the heat
Can match this intensity
So sweet
Of poignant love
And lasting lust
These hours of longing
This desire to suffuse.
What more do you need...
I’m not one for flaunting.
And I’ve accomplished a sense
Of belonging
I have a confidence
In the strength of my knowing.
And love is not a word
Fully known by anyone:
Not poet, scientist
Activist or clergy.
You complain of abstract meaning?
What do you make of this:
I need you
I want you
Don’t try to own or overcome.
Simply gently join with me
For all eternity.
